Zerohedge is not a news outlet. Posting this as "news" is as dumb as it is counterproductive.

I know the evil corp tried to improve the graphics engine and wanted to show off more natural looking character models so they gave him this new skin on the last battlepass but I still think it's in the uncanny valley.

None of these billionaires know how to survive without a hundred people personally tending to them so I'm not sure how long they think they'll last in their bunkers

If or when we succumb to climate change, I’ll have one dying wish. It’ll be that these disgusting ultra-wealthy fucks who partook in humanity’s demise, live long lives suffering horrible psychosis and hysteria for the decades leading to their sad and lonely deaths, all the while fruitlessly waiting in isolation for Earth to become inhabitable again.

I wish the remaining flora and fauna all the best. Mycelium and bacteria will be fine. Lol

Just locate plug their exhaust hole when they go hiding.

They're billionaires. You don't think his "little shelter" doesn't have automatic turrets guarding it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

His "little shelter" is, together with Larry Ellison, essentially the entire island of Lanai. It has a 7-mile-wide moat separating it from the higher-populated parts of Hawaii, let alone the US mainland.

... Did they buy basically all of Lanai, as well?

Or are you getting your islands mistaken?

WIRED puts Zuck's compound on Kauai, right about here:

Looks like the imagery in this area has not been updated since 2019.

Not sure exactly where the property lines are, but I'm fairly sure I've got the main area in the picture here, matches all the details in the WIRED article.

You're right; I was mistaken about which island Zuckerberg's property is on.

It will run out of bullets at some point with no way to reload a few RC cards should do the trick

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure they've done the math and have enough bullets to kill everyone with the resources to reach his island. They probably used the same employees that plan their server capacity.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But your assumption is they have infinite space for ammo and the guns don't jam. It's not like they can run them 24/7 with zero maintenance and its not like they will have a staff. If they are at the point of bunker time money is worthless. I remember reading about how there is a lot of talk in ultra wealth spaces about how do. Stop your security force from just taking your bunker. No one has a good answer for that problem and it puts a smile on my face knowing that will be their fate.

Of course there will be staff. He's not going to clean his own toilets.

50 million 50 caliber bullets assuming 2x overhead for packing occupies a cube 6 meters on each side.

And automatic turrets don't shoot wildly like humans. It's 1 bullet, 1 headshot. Even YouTubers can do it with a $5 microcontroller and nerf gun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but staff requires payment and if society collapses. That means money is worthless so it falls back to biggest person with the biggest weapon gets your stuff. So his head of Security now runs the place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

If it were that easy, his head of security would have already killed him and disappeared with $100m.

You do it like all dictators have done throughout history. You have several security guards each watching the other. It requires all security in agreement to overthrow the dictator like the Praetorian guard in ancient Rome.
